Al Ahly 2 – 2 Zesco United (As it happened)

Zesco United coach George Lwandamina has named a familiar line up for Friday CAF Champions League group stage match against Al Ahly.

Lwandamina has gone with two strikers, Jackson Mwanza and Jesse Were in attack while Misheck Chaila was walked straight into the starting XI after missing the draw against Asec Mimosa due to suspension.

Anthony Agay has given way for Chaila who will partner Kondwani Mtonga in midfield.

Speedy wingers John Chingandu and Clatous Chama start out wide while Simon Silwimba continues at right back with Ayo Oluwafemi will man the left back.

David Odhiambo and Ben Bahn complete the back four with the captain Jacob Banda in goal.

    Some good skills and confidence by Zesco in the Ahly half as they exchange balls on the edge of the area

  9. 45 Al Ahly 1 – 2 Zesco
    Ahly pressurising in the closing minutes of the half and almost scored when Banda spilled the ball under pressure but it went out for a corner.
    No protection from the ref on the keeper
    Ahly shoot over the bar from the resulting corner

  10. Zesco should improve when defending setpieces. They should just do away with the zonal marking and revert to what most Zambian players are conversent with ” UMUNTU PA MUNTU”. So far so good, just hope they avoid defeat in tonights game

    Dangerous play by Ahly sees the referee flash the first yellow for a free kick to Zesco from about 35 yards

  13. 83′ Al Ahly 1 – 2 Zesco
    Counter attack by Zesco but Mbombo is shrugged off the ball for what seems to be a foul in the box but the referee is not interested

  14. That’s my team! Zega Mambo! Now let’s wait for the moroccan team. We must elecrocute and shock them with 1000Kva @ Levy Mwanawasa, increase the if they resist untill the turn to charcoal black. Go zega Go!!

  15. the sub for mbombo and chingandu was too early …we were supposed to be defending at that moment..we gave too much time to Ahly in the second…not a bad result overall
